The equestrian statue of Frederick William IV

An 1875-86 bronze sculpture of Frederick William IV of Prussia stands before the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.

Alexander Calandrelli was the sculptor of the equestrian statue of Frederick William IV. Created between 1875 and 1886, the bronze work depicts the 19th-century Prussian king.

The statue is installed in front of the Alte Nationalgalerie in the Mitte district of Berlin. It stands in the Spandauer Vorstadt at Bodestraße, where it remains a prominent fixture of the city's landscape.

Standing 9.6 meters tall, the memorial serves as a public monument to the monarch. It remains a notable example of 19th-century sculpture located near the gallery's entrance.
